73 more refugees at al-Waleed

73 new refugees have arrived at Al Waleed on the Iraq-Syria border over the last two days. More are reported to be following. The total of Palestinians at this border area has now reached 753, with 354 stuck in no-man's land and 399 remaining on the Iraqi side. An abandoned school close to the border site has been opened to accommodate the new arrivals but is already full and any new arrivals will have to live in tents. In recent weeks, the Iraqi authorities have become increasingly uneasy with the growing numbers at the border and would like to see alternative solutions. There are signs they may force the group to leave the border area but currently there is no safe alternative for these refugees. UNHCR High Commissioner António Guterres is in Syria today on the final leg of a weeklong mission to the Middle East and has been discussing the plight of the Palestinians, who he says are "in extreme danger" with the Syrian authorities.
